The arms show St. Gothardus (961-1038), Bishop of Hildesheim. He already appears in the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1250. Why the bishop is chosen is not clear, it may be as a canting symbol. There is no historical relation between the city and the bishop. | The arms show St. Gothardus (961-1038), Bishop of Hildesheim.
